Autorig tutorial prep work 04

This time I am modeling the hands. I am not looking at references yet, just blocking out the shapes.

You will see me starting from a cube, which I subdivide manually to extrude faces and create the fingers.

I push the details on one fingers then duplicate it to create the other ones. Very often you will see me going from low poly to high poly using the 1 and 3 keys in maya 2009.

and here is the second pass

Third pass, refining the shape, cleaning up some edges, adding more detail

    Thanks a lot for doing this Olivier! I was thinking about modeling my own character and eventually using an “autorigger” to rig it. I will be using your tuts 4 sure!

  2. My pleasure Issam. I got caught up detailing the model but I think I should just get going and start the Autorig tutorial or it will never get done!!!
